The UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman reached the next milestone in his UFC career by becoming the first athlete in the history of the USADA program to pass 50 tests flawlessly. He made history by becoming the first athlete to reach this mark by completing his entire career within the UFC program.
The UFC Senior Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance presented him with a commemorative jacket. Jeff Novitzky. Interestingly, he received this award shortly before his fight against the former UFC interim welterweight champion. Colby Covington has UFC 268 who still accuses him of using PEDs.
These two welterweight giants first faced each other at UFC 245 and Covington suffered a TKO loss in that fight. Since that loss, he has repeatedly accused Kamaru Usman of using EPO, even giving him nicknames like “Marty Juiceman” and “EPO CEO.”
In his interview with BT Sports, Covington immediately responded to Usman being given this award by saying: “My immediate reaction is that he has a head start. He has a doctor brother and they are able to hide the drugs in his body. Everyone knows that Barry Bonds took steroids throughout his career, but he was never stopped because he was ahead of the curve. It’s the same for Marty.
Covington posted this by reference Barry Bonds, a former MLB player who later became a central figure in the steroid scandal in American baseball. Colby Covington added: “You can look at his stomach and see all the injection marks, you can see all the acne appearing on his back, on his face.”
“You can’t tell me that at 35 you have a chemical imbalance in your body. He’s an impostor, he’s the “Marty Juiceman” and he’s the CEO of EPO.”
“Look at this EPO CEO” Kamaru Usman mocks Colby Covington after receiving USADA award


The UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman shared a video to make fun of it on his personal Instagram Colby Covington and say: “Look, CEO and EPO are the cleanest fighters in the world. Thank you USADA.
“The World’s Cleanest Athlete, aka CEO and EPO, is the world’s cleanest fighter and no one in the entire UFC can say that.” All these pre-fight jokes make this highly anticipated rematch even more interesting and fans are eagerly waiting to see it.
